Some random guy in Austin, TX with a penchant for doing silly things. I've been labeled an "odd duck" so many times that I've adopted it as my name. I enjoy distributed systems, long days swinging a hammer and helping people to hear beautiful constructive interference known as music.

That depends entirely on how you think about "turtles all the way down!" Primitives have to be built from something, our CPUs don't speak HTML natively. We'll use jQuery as an example. People use jQuery bits to build…
Swing takes a different approach. It is a pluggable widget toolkit rather than a set of lower level constructs used to build primitives.
The power of the web isn't any one technology, but a combination of two very powerful things: the ability to present arbitrary content with an arbitrary look and feel, and the ability to trivially point a user at…

My question is how does this relate to market maturity? Look at the Linux server market. That market is very much at the peak of the curve or perhaps into the "Late Majority" phase. Does a company targeting that market…
It seems like the conflict between #1 and #2 is the big challenge (and opportunity) here. #2 posits that people (and thus their companies) get great benefit from being close to each other and able to exchange ideas…
